Description

Sodium-n-Methyl-n-Oleyl Taurate is a high-performance anionic surfactant derived from oleic acid and taurine. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and foaming properties, even in hard water and acidic conditions. It is a critical ingredient for formulators in the personal care, textile, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking mild yet effective surface-active agents. Its unique structure provides superior compatibility and stability in complex formulations.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: A primary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and shaving foams for its mildness and rich lather.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent, leveling agent, and dispersant in dyeing and finishing operations.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Key component in liquid soaps, hard surface cleaners, and metal degreasers for its grease-cutting power.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of synthetic latexes and polymers.
• Agricultural Formulations: Employed as a wetting and spreading agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Leather Processing: Acts as a fatliquoring agent and emulsifier in leather tanning and finishing.
